About time grandpa shared the recipe. A creamy and tangy salad with potatoes, hard-boiled eggs, and sweet onion. Try using homemade mayo for an even fresher tasting dish.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  1-2 hrs

ingredients

8 medium boiled potatoes, cubed
1 medium sweet onion, chopped coarsely
4 cold hard boiled eggs, chopped coarsely
4 stalks celery, sliced thin
1/3 cup good quality mayonnaise
3/4 teaspoon dry mustard (to taste)
salad oil (I use canola)
2 teaspoons capers

directions

Combine dry mustard with mayonnaise and the mashed yolk of one of the hard boiled eggs, and add salad oil. Mix enough in, usually a tablespoon or two, to make it the texture that you can mix with the potatoes. Add capers to this and mix them in.

Mix the potato, chopped eggs, celery and onion, and add mayonnaise mixture. Mix gently but thoroughly, and chill for an hour or so before serving. Optional seasonings (omit capers) may include basil, dill or rosemary. You can use radishes or dill pickles for garnish, but it is best the way it is.

    looking at the picture of the potato salad it looks like radishes are in the bowl. I don't see radishes listed in the ingredients. anything else missing from grandpas potato salad? Looks good I want to make this

    • If you read the recipe you'll see the author mentions radishes as an option.
